Thanks Diane, Lee and JJ for your advice. I made
many phone calls today and it seems the $15 fee for
the certificates is my best bet. Although I will check
with Apple, maybe I can get around the $15. It may
depend on the fact that the shares are probably in
street name, which means my name is not on them.

However, to transfer the shares to Vanguard would
cost a $50 fee and to sell would be a whopping $65!

I am actually lucky as my BIL has a lot of different
stocks and is having to pay $15 for each one to get
the certificates!!!

Down with Quick & Reilly, I hope they go bankrupt.

BTW, the original broker was a discount broker, but
was swallowed up in two mergers.
